​I am excited to announce that I am leading an EF Education Tour to Rome and Pompeii in April 2020. Students who are currently in grades 6, 7, or who are rising 6th-graders, are eligible. Travelers are already signing up and spots are becoming filled as space is limited. Since rising 6th-grade families are just finding out their school assignments, this meeting is arranged so that incoming Lufkin students can come out, learn about the opportunity to travel and get excited about your new school!

​If you have ever thought about looking into a travel package like this, now is the best time! Please save this date and rsvp now so you can arrange to attend since I am setting aside this time to go over all the details of this 8-day trip. I will talk about some fundraising options that can help students in saving up for their trip.

The tour is a wonderful opportunity for middle school art club students, especially because this specific itinerary is filled with activities and art-related venues with their age group in mind. Needless to say, it’s also an excellent way to mark the milestone of arriving to middle school. It’s a chance for parents to share an unforgettable travel adventure with their child, and a student to learn about a rich culture with his peers and art teacher.

Whatever your interest, an economical, all-inclusive travel package like this one does not present itself often. I have to say that I am very impressed by the value of this tour that EF has been able to put together for us; it is not a WCPSS-sponsored trip but one designated exclusively for our extracurricular art club. If you know of rising 6th-grade students, or others currently in grades 6 or 7, who might be interested in traveling with our art club and signing up for this tour, please pass along this meeting date so they too can learn more.
